WavePoolGallery has started a curatorial residency program to give artists a paid opportunity to build the skills they need beyond making art. "We're building what we never had, what we wished we had," said Maria Seda-Reeder, coordinator of the curatorial residency, artist and a former Wave Pool board member. After Seda-Reeder and Wave Pool founder Calcagno Cullen graduated with advanced arts degrees, they found themselves in Cincinnati facing a lack of paid opportunities to produce art or build the administerial skills they needed to work for a larger art organization. Seda-Reeder stayed and scraped together her own opportunities -- DIY exhibits, critique nights with friends and assorted freelance gigs -- around odd jobs, while Cullen left and spent five years gaining experience in San Francisco before returning to start Wave Pool. "There's a gap between school and professional life," Cullen said. "That's why we see so many artists boomeranging back to Cincinnati." Wave Pool's curatorial residency is modeled after mentorship Cullen received at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Her experience there landed her a job curating the gallery at AdobeBooks, Cullen said, and that position led directly to her desire and ability to open Wave Pool. Along with mentorship, Wave Pool curatorial residents will receive a $2,000 stipend and marketing and administration support to build an exhibit. Grants from ArtsWave and the Ohio Arts Council are covering the cost of the pilot program, which joins Wave Pool's slate of projects, including a yearlong artist-in-residency program, to build and expand the Cincinnati arts scene. "What Wave Pool is doing is so multi-faceted and vital," said Matt Distel, exhibitions director at the Carnegie. "The curatorial residency program builds on many of their previous projects. ... To be a working artist in Cincinnati means that you will be doing many things that are not simply making art. The curatorial residency is a chance to learn or flex a related but different muscle." Distel sat on the jury of artists, arts professionals and community members that chose the first curatorial residents from a slate of 11 proposals. Artists and aspiring curators had to put together a plan for an exhibit that would connect with Wave Pool's neighborhood-focused mission to use contemporary art to spark social engagement. "Curating can tend to be rooted in the academic or museum worlds," Distel said. "Projects like Wave Pool's make explicit that great shows can also be born from communities of artists and simply like-minded folks getting together to share common interests. Curating can exist as commentary on art but also holds a lot of power when it is integrated into a community."

LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
TonightWe are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

(6 Apr 2018) LEADIN
The first UK gallery to deal exclusively in Iranian art has opened in London.
Iran's contemporary art market is reportedly outperforming that of any other Middle Eastern country, and is being seen in more markets around the world.
STORYLINE:
One of the first sights on entering the new CAMA (Contemporary and Modern Art) Gallery in London is a Union Jack.
Incongruous for a gallery dealing exclusively in Iranian art - but look closer and Farsi calligraphy can be seen as its base, intertwined with the red, white and blue lines atop.
The 2014 'FlagSeries' by Fereydoon Omidi, which speaks of friendship and understanding between cultures, is symbolic of CAMA's approach.
Being the first gallery in the UK dealing exclusively in Iranian art, it aims to be a platform for Iranian artists to get their works consistently seen and sold abroad and for Western collectors to gain a deeper understanding of Iran than that which is regularly portrayed by Western media or politicians.
CAMA Co-founder RileyFrost says, the objective is to: "provide a platform for Iranian art. A legitimate platform in the West, where we are not just nit-picking bits here and there and taking the bits that fit into that Western aesthetic, we are very much looking to change the view that Western collectors have of Iranian art.
"A lot of the works that we have got here, we have behind me a work that is a flag with a very calligraphic base and a lot of works we are showing have quite strong Islamic content and that is not conducive to the wants and needs of the Western collector," Frost adds.
"That being said that is more so because Western collectors have been presented with quite an Orientalised notion of what Iranian art is, what Middle Eastern art is and what the Middle East more broadly is."
CAMA's inaugural exhibition, 'Sensations', shows the works of 19 Iranian artists. It includes young artists, such as the highly sought after Bita Vakili, and established artists, for instance, Mostafa Nourbakhsh.
It wants to lead the expansion of Iran's art industry, and is looking to reach other Western locations, such as Los Angeles, Washington DC and Toronto, in the next 12 to 18 months.
And Frost believes there will be a further opening of perspectives to Iranian art in Western society in the next 10 to 15 years.
Currently, Iranian art is reportedly outperforming other Middle Eastern nations' works. Last year it made 60 percent of the revenue at Sotheby's Middle Eastern art auction.
However, the current political climate does pose logistical issues. The TrumpAdministration has pushed forward travel restrictions on Iranians to the US. None of the artists featured in 'Sensations' could get visas to travel to the UK for the opening.
And there remain the restrictions from their own government on what Iranian artists can speak about and portray in their works.
As Frost notes: "The great thing about Iranian art and probably the most key thing I am keen to get across is that Iranian art is great because it is bounded and a lot of Iranian artists would rather their work was not so heavily censored.
"But there's a cliche that pressure creates diamonds, and I feel like with Iranian art that is indicative of the wider scene.
"If you're forced to work within a box you are really forced to think about what you are doing rather than just sell it to a collector."
It's a view shared by Middle Eastern art expert Janet Rady. She says that censorship forces the artists to use more allusion in their work, ultimately making more attractive what is already a highly developed scene.
Rady says the standard of Iranian art is different to the rest of the Middle East:
"It's got nothing to do with exporting the works of art from Iran at all," Rady says.

Aelita Andre

Aelita Andre (born 9 January 2007) is an Australian abstract artist known for her Surrealist painting style and her young age. She began to paint when aged nine months, and her work was displayed publicly in a group exhibition shortly after she turned two. Her first solo exhibition opened in New York City in June 2011, when she was four years old.

Background

Andre was born to Australian father Michael Andre and Russian mother Nikka Kalashnikova. As a baby, she often watched her parents, both artists themselves, work on canvases on the floor. She learned to paint before she could walk, several months prior to her first birthday. She and her family currently reside in Melbourne.

Career

Beginning

Andre's mother, believing her daughter to be a child prodigy, showed some of Andre's paintings to a Melbourne-based art curator when the girl was 22monthsold. Impressed with the work, the curator agreed to include it in a group exhibition in the Brunswick StreetGallery, and he began advertising the show with Andre's paintings before he learned of her age. Although he was surprised, he kept his promise to display the work. The show opened shortly after her second birthday and also featured Kalashnikova's photography. Several months later, Andre and her parents visited Hong Kong, where she sold her most expensive painting to date for $24,000.

LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
TonightWe are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

First London gallery dedicated to Iranian Art

First London gallery dedicated to Iranian Art

First London gallery dedicated to Iranian Art

(6 Apr 2018) LEADIN
The first UK gallery to deal exclusively in Iranian art has opened in London.
Iran's contemporary art market is reportedly outperforming that of any other Middle Eastern country, and is being seen in more markets around the world.
STORYLINE:
One of the first sights on entering the new CAMA (Contemporary and Modern Art) Gallery in London is a Union Jack.
Incongruous for a gallery dealing exclusively in Iranian art - but look closer and Farsi calligraphy can be seen as its base, intertwined with the red, white and blue lines atop.
The 2014 'FlagSeries' by Fereydoon Omidi, which speaks of friendship and understanding between cultures, is symbolic of CAMA's approach.
Being the first gallery in the UK dealing exclusively in Iranian art, it aims to be a platform for Iranian artists to get their works consistently seen and sold abroad and for Western collectors to gain a deeper understanding of Iran than that which is regularly portrayed by Western media or politicians.
CAMA Co-founder RileyFrost says, the objective is to: "provide a platform for Iranian art. A legitimate platform in the West, where we are not just nit-picking bits here and there and taking the bits that fit into that Western aesthetic, we are very much looking to change the view that Western collectors have of Iranian art.
"A lot of the works that we have got here, we have behind me a work that is a flag with a very calligraphic base and a lot of works we are showing have quite strong Islamic content and that is not conducive to the wants and needs of the Western collector," Frost adds.
"That being said that is more so because Western collectors have been presented with quite an Orientalised notion of what Iranian art is, what Middle Eastern art is and what the Middle East more broadly is."
CAMA's inaugural exhibition, 'Sensations', shows the works of 19 Iranian artists. It includes young artists, such as the highly sought after Bita Vakili, and established artists, for instance, Mostafa Nourbakhsh.
It wants to lead the expansion of Iran's art industry, and is looking to reach other Western locations, such as Los Angeles, Washington DC and Toronto, in the next 12 to 18 months.
And Frost believes there will be a further opening of perspectives to Iranian art in Western society in the next 10 to 15 years.
Currently, Iranian art is reportedly outperforming other Middle Eastern nations' works. Last year it made 60 percent of the revenue at Sotheby's Middle Eastern art auction.
However, the current political climate does pose logistical issues. The TrumpAdministration has pushed forward travel restrictions on Iranians to the US. None of the artists featured in 'Sensations' could get visas to travel to the UK for the opening.
And there remain the restrictions from their own government on what Iranian artists can speak about and portray in their works.
As Frost notes: "The great thing about Iranian art and probably the most key thing I am keen to get across is that Iranian art is great because it is bounded and a lot of Iranian artists would rather their work was not so heavily censored.
"But there's a cliche that pressure creates diamonds, and I feel like with Iranian art that is indicative of the wider scene.
"If you're forced to work within a box you are really forced to think about what you are doing rather than just sell it to a collector."
It's a view shared by Middle Eastern art expert Janet Rady. She says that censorship forces the artists to use more allusion in their work, ultimately making more attractive what is already a highly developed scene.
Rady says the standard of Iranian art is different to the rest of the Middle East:
"It's got nothing to do with exporting the works of art from Iran at all," Rady says.

Aelita Andre: the child prodigy painter from Melbourne, Australia

Someone once told us that 'Believing was Seeing...' and in this case it could quite literally be very true.
Aelita Andre, (born 2007), is an Australian born artist of Russian heritage. She is an internationally recognized artist whose solo exhibition at AgoraGallery, New York, in 2011 sold out in seven days. Created with the joy and free spiritedness of her youth, her expressively colorful abstracts are remarkable evidence of her spontaneous intuitive impulses. Intention and message are at their most abstract in her art.​
The above video is entitled 'SecretUniverse' which represents the world inhabited by children - a world of their own making where fantasy is foremost and reality is distant and secondary. This is a glimpse into what has been adapted into a short film and is told from Aelita's point of view and includes many spoken observations about herself, her painting and her unique thoughts on life itself.
Aelita works in acrylic, with occasional added objects such as toys like plastic dinosaurs, butterflies and penguins, and various other items, including even a microscope. Aelita creates swirling layers of paint splatters and uses iridescent neon glitter to form an intricate, kinetic whole. The structural rhythms are unmistakable and completely instinctive, reflecting an understanding of composition far beyond her years. Complex yet accessible, sophisticated yet unguided, Aelita's artworks communicate a sense of excitement and allow a unique access into the creative mind of a child.
If given the opportunity, what do you think you could achieve, or even your own kids?
No more words required, but just your own interpretations... just as with Art itself.

Yayoi Kusama Interview: Advice to the Young

Yayoi Kusama Interview: Advice to the Young

Yayoi Kusama Interview: Advice to the Young

What piece of advice would one of the world’s most iconic contemporary artists pass on? JapaneseYayoi Kusama here turns the tables and argues that advice should not come from other people: “I am not an art teacher to you.”
“Spread your ideas all over the world.” Kusama encourages artists to trust their own creativity, explore themselves and discover their own path in life: “A true direction will come from overcoming adversity.”
Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) is a Japanese artist and writer. She has worked in a wide variety of media, including paintings, collage, sculpture, performance art, fashion, and installations. Common for these different genres is the thematic interest in psychedelic colours, repetition and pattern (most famously dots). She moved to the United States in 1957 and soon became a fixture of the New York avant-garde scene, influencing contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol. It was also in New York, that she embraced the rise of the hippie counterculture of the late 1960s, organizing a series of happenings in which naked participants were painted with polka dots. In 1973 Kusama moved back to Japan, where she was suddenly perceived as a “Western” artist, and thus had to re-establish her network and position. Kusama’s work is in the collections of leading museums such as MoMA in New York, Tate Modern in London, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Centre Pompidou in Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. She has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Asahi Prize (2001), Order des Arts et des Lettres (2003), the Order of the Rising Sun (2006) and one of Japan’s most prestigious prizes, Praemium Imperiale (2006), which she was the first Japanese woman to receive. Kusama has also designed for the fashion-industry, collaborating with prominent designers such as Louis Vuitton. She lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
Yayoi Kusama was interviewed at her studio in Tokyo, Japan in June 2015.

Wave Pool Gallery is helping young artists navigate the 'art world hustle' with curatorial residency

WavePoolGallery has started a curatorial residency program to give artists a paid opportunity to build the skills they need beyond making art. "We're building what we never had, what we wished we had," said Maria Seda-Reeder, coordinator of the curatorial residency, artist and a former Wave Pool board member. After Seda-Reeder and Wave Pool founder Calcagno Cullen graduated with advanced arts degrees, they found themselves in Cincinnati facing a lack of paid opportunities to produce art or build the administerial skills they needed to work for a larger art organization. Seda-Reeder stayed and scraped together her own opportunities -- DIY exhibits, critique nights with friends and assorted freelance gigs -- around odd jobs, while Cullen left and spent five years gaining experience in Sa...

Fred Tomaselli: Advice to the Young

“You might as well be true to what you want to do and not turn art into another day job.” WatchFred Tomaselli, a master of psychedelic artwork, advise artists to create their own art world instead of waiting for the established art scene to discover them.
Don’t expect any material awards for what you do, and don’t try to adapt to a surrounding trend: “If you’re doing something counter to the zeitgeist, that’s probably a good idea – you’re probably on the right path. If you’re doing what everybody else is doing – so what?”

Sun Xun is one of China’s most talented and ambitious young artists. He experiments with drawings, traditional ink paintings and woodcuts, and then uses new technologies to transform them into his artistic trademark – black and white animations. Born in 1980 in Fuxin, his works often explore and question what is known about Chinese history. In 2006 he founded his own animation studio called Pi and produces large amounts of work each year. In just under 10 years, Sun Xun has held over 30 solo exhibitions, most notably at the Hayward Gallery in London, and at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. He has also shown his films at more than 150 film festivals worldwide, including the 8th Seoul International Film Festival and the 25th Torino Film Festival.

Wave Pool Gallery is helping young artists navigate the 'art world hustle' with curatorial residency

WavePoolGallery has started a curatorial residency program to give artists a paid opportunity to build the skills they need beyond making art. "We're building what we never had, what we wished we had," said Maria Seda-Reeder, coordinator of the curatorial residency, artist and a former Wave Pool board member. After Seda-Reeder and Wave Pool founder Calcagno Cullen graduated with advanced arts degrees, they found themselves in Cincinnati facing a lack of paid opportunities to produce art or build the administerial skills they needed to work for a larger art organization. Seda-Reeder stayed and scraped together her own opportunities -- DIY exhibits, critique nights with friends and assorted freelance gigs -- around odd jobs, while Cullen left and spent five years gaining experience in San Francisco before returning to start Wave Pool. "There's a gap between school and professional life," Cullen said. "That's why we see so many artists boomeranging back to Cincinnati." Wave Pool's curatorial residency is modeled after mentorship Cullen received at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Her experience there landed her a job curating the gallery at AdobeBooks, Cullen said, and that position led directly to her desire and ability to open Wave Pool. Along with mentorship, Wave Pool curatorial residents will receive a $2,000 stipend and marketing and administration support to build an exhibit. Grants from ArtsWave and the Ohio Arts Council are covering the cost of the pilot program, which joins Wave Pool's slate of projects, including a yearlong artist-in-residency program, to build and expand the Cincinnati arts scene. "What Wave Pool is doing is so multi-faceted and vital," said Matt Distel, exhibitions director at the Carnegie. "The curatorial residency program builds on many of their previous projects. ... To be a working artist in Cincinnati means that you will be doing many things that are not simply making art. The curatorial residency is a chance to learn or flex a related but different muscle." Distel sat on the jury of artists, arts professionals and community members that chose the first curatorial residents from a slate of 11 proposals. Artists and aspiring curators had to put together a plan for an exhibit that would connect with Wave Pool's neighborhood-focused mission to use contemporary art to spark social engagement. "Curating can tend to be rooted in the academic or museum worlds," Distel said. "Projects like Wave Pool's make explicit that great shows can also be born from communities of artists and simply like-minded folks getting together to share common interests. Curating can exist as commentary on art but also holds a lot of power when it is integrated into a community."

LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
TonightWe are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down

First London gallery dedicated to Iranian Art

(6 Apr 2018) LEADIN
The first UK gallery to deal exclusively in Iranian art has opened in London.
Iran's contemporary art market is reportedly outperforming that of any other Middle Eastern country, and is being seen in more markets around the world.
STORYLINE:
One of the first sights on entering the new CAMA (Contemporary and Modern Art) Gallery in London is a Union Jack.
Incongruous for a gallery dealing exclusively in Iranian art - but look closer and Farsi calligraphy can be seen as its base, intertwined with the red, white and blue lines atop.
The 2014 'FlagSeries' by Fereydoon Omidi, which speaks of friendship and understanding between cultures, is symbolic of CAMA's approach.
Being the first gallery in the UK dealing exclusively in Iranian art, it aims to be a platform for Iranian artists to get their works consistently seen and sold abroad and for Western collectors to gain a deeper understanding of Iran than that which is regularly portrayed by Western media or politicians.
CAMA Co-founder RileyFrost says, the objective is to: "provide a platform for Iranian art. A legitimate platform in the West, where we are not just nit-picking bits here and there and taking the bits that fit into that Western aesthetic, we are very much looking to change the view that Western collectors have of Iranian art.
"A lot of the works that we have got here, we have behind me a work that is a flag with a very calligraphic base and a lot of works we are showing have quite strong Islamic content and that is not conducive to the wants and needs of the Western collector," Frost adds.
"That being said that is more so because Western collectors have been presented with quite an Orientalised notion of what Iranian art is, what Middle Eastern art is and what the Middle East more broadly is."
CAMA's inaugural exhibition, 'Sensations', shows the works of 19 Iranian artists. It includes young artists, such as the highly sought after Bita Vakili, and established artists, for instance, Mostafa Nourbakhsh.
It wants to lead the expansion of Iran's art industry, and is looking to reach other Western locations, such as Los Angeles, Washington DC and Toronto, in the next 12 to 18 months.
And Frost believes there will be a further opening of perspectives to Iranian art in Western society in the next 10 to 15 years.
Currently, Iranian art is reportedly outperforming other Middle Eastern nations' works. Last year it made 60 percent of the revenue at Sotheby's Middle Eastern art auction.
However, the current political climate does pose logistical issues. The TrumpAdministration has pushed forward travel restrictions on Iranians to the US. None of the artists featured in 'Sensations' could get visas to travel to the UK for the opening.
And there remain the restrictions from their own government on what Iranian artists can speak about and portray in their works.
As Frost notes: "The great thing about Iranian art and probably the most key thing I am keen to get across is that Iranian art is great because it is bounded and a lot of Iranian artists would rather their work was not so heavily censored.
"But there's a cliche that pressure creates diamonds, and I feel like with Iranian art that is indicative of the wider scene.
"If you're forced to work within a box you are really forced to think about what you are doing rather than just sell it to a collector."
It's a view shared by Middle Eastern art expert Janet Rady. She says that censorship forces the artists to use more allusion in their work, ultimately making more attractive what is already a highly developed scene.
Rady says the standard of Iranian art is different to the rest of the Middle East:
"It's got nothing to do with exporting the works of art from Iran at all," Rady says.

Someone once told us that 'Believing was Seeing...' and in this case it could quite literally be very true.
Aelita Andre, (born 2007), is an Australian born artist of Russian heritage. She is an internationally recognized artist whose solo exhibition at AgoraGallery, New York, in 2011 sold out in seven days. Created with the joy and free spiritedness of her youth, her expressively colorful abstracts are remarkable evidence of her spontaneous intuitive impulses. Intention and message are at their most abstract in her art.​
The above video is entitled 'SecretUniverse' which represents the world inhabited by children - a world of their own making where fantasy is foremost and reality is distant and secondary. This is a glimpse into what has been adapted into a short film and is told from Aelita's point of view and includes many spoken observations about herself, her painting and her unique thoughts on life itself.
Aelita works in acrylic, with occasional added objects such as toys like plastic dinosaurs, butterflies and penguins, and various other items, including even a microscope. Aelita creates swirling layers of paint splatters and uses iridescent neon glitter to form an intricate, kinetic whole. The structural rhythms are unmistakable and completely instinctive, reflecting an understanding of composition far beyond her years. Complex yet accessible, sophisticated yet unguided, Aelita's artworks communicate a sense of excitement and allow a unique access into the creative mind of a child.
If given the opportunity, what do you think you could achieve, or even your own kids?
No more words required, but just your own interpretations... just as with Art itself.

This is a glimpse into what has been adapted into a short film and is told from Aelita's point of view and includes many spoken observations about herself, her painting and her unique thoughts on life itself.
Aelita works in acrylic, with occasional added objects such as toys like plastic dinosaurs, butterflies and penguins, and various other items, including even a microscope. Aelita creates swirling layers of paint splatters and uses iridescent neon glitter to form an intricate, kinetic whole. The structural rhythms are unmistakable and completely instinctive, reflecting an understanding of composition far beyond her years. Complex yet accessible, sophisticated yet unguided, Aelita's artworks communicate a sense of excitement and allow a unique access into the creative mind of a child.
If given the opportunity, what do you think you could achieve, or even your own kids?
No more words required, but just your own interpretations... just as with Art itself.

Autumn de Forest is certainly creating a name for herself in the art world. At the young age of 11, the child prodigy has commissioned six-figure works of art and garnered national and international acclaim. Her artistic style has been compared to iconic abstract painters including Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and modern master Pablo Picasso. Matt Lauer interviewed Autumn on the "Today Show," Discovery Channel profiled her as a child genius, and many other television programs have featured the young talent, including "Inside Edition," ABC, CBS, FOX and NBCNews. Autumn has just been chosen for inclusion by the venerable and highly-regarded Park West Gallery; the youngest artist ever to have their artwork housed in its important and carefully curated collections.
Founded in 1969 by Albert Scaglione, Park West Gallery has brought the experience of collecting fine art to more than 1.4 million customers around the world, through art auctions on cruise ships and in major metropolitan areas, and via gallery locations in Michigan and Florida.
Fine art is available through Park West Gallery and its cruise art auctions at sea. Learn more about the artist and view selections of his work at www.parkwestgallery.com

Yayoi Kusama Interview: Advice to the Young

What piece of advice would one of the world’s most iconic contemporary artists pass on? JapaneseYayoi Kusama here turns the tables and argues that advice should not come from other people: “I am not an art teacher to you.”
“Spread your ideas all over the world.” Kusama encourages artists to trust their own creativity, explore themselves and discover their own path in life: “A true direction will come from overcoming adversity.”
Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) is a Japanese artist and writer. She has worked in a wide variety of media, including paintings, collage, sculpture, performance art, fashion, and installations. Common for these different genres is the thematic interest in psychedelic colours, repetition and pattern (most famously dots). She moved to the United States in 1957 and soon became a fixture of the New York avant-garde scene, influencing contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol. It was also in New York, that she embraced the rise of the hippie counterculture of the late 1960s, organizing a series of happenings in which naked participants were painted with polka dots. In 1973 Kusama moved back to Japan, where she was suddenly perceived as a “Western” artist, and thus had to re-establish her network and position. Kusama’s work is in the collections of leading museums such as MoMA in New York, Tate Modern in London, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Centre Pompidou in Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. She has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Asahi Prize (2001), Order des Arts et des Lettres (2003), the Order of the Rising Sun (2006) and one of Japan’s most prestigious prizes, Praemium Imperiale (2006), which she was the first Japanese woman to receive. Kusama has also designed for the fashion-industry, collaborating with prominent designers such as Louis Vuitton. She lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
Yayoi Kusama was interviewed at her studio in Tokyo, Japan in June 2015.

Sun Xun is one of China’s most talented and ambitious young artists. He experiments with drawings, traditional ink paintings and woodcuts, and then uses new technologies to transform them into his artistic trademark – black and white animations. Born in 1980 in Fuxin, his works often explore and question what is known about Chinese history. In 2006 he founded his own animation studio called Pi and produces large amounts of work each year. In just under 10 years, Sun Xun has held over 30 solo exhibitions, most notably at the Hayward Gallery in London, and at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. He has also shown his films at more than 150 film festivals worldwide, including the 8th Seoul International Film Festival and the 25th Torino Film Festival.

In Search of Fra Angelico: The Artist as a Young Man

Laurence Kanter
Friday, February 2, 2018, 1:30 pm
Over the past two decades, discoveries made in museums around the world have led to a new understanding of the early career of one of the towering masters of the Italian Renaissance, the artist known today as Fra Angelico. Now, conservation work at the Yale University Art Gallery has uncovered what may be Angelico’s first documented painting—long thought to have been lost—and opens new perspectives on the key role he played in the opening years of the 15th century in the formation of a modern style of naturalistic representation. Laurence Kanter, ChiefCurator and the Lionel Goldfrank III Curator of European Art, addresses the early work of Fra Angelico.

Conversations | Artist Talk | Nurture vs. Promotion: Young Artists

This panel investigates the pros and cons of promoting emerging artists and best-practice methods. Is early promotion of artists damaging the longevity of their artwork? When is an artist too young to be pushed into the public arena; what makes an artist ‘ready’ for such public celebration? Are young artists becoming better at digital-self-promotion than anyone else? What is the role of the coveted art prize? Is there a right or wrong way to navigate studio visits between emerging artists and art professionals?

Guns in the Hands of Artists: A Gallery Exhibition at New America

New America is proud to host Guns in the Hands of Artists, an exhibition from New Orleans artists BrianBorrello and JonathanFerrara to further the conversation about guns in our society with art as the catalyst for dialogue.
Decommisioned guns taken off the streets of New Orleans were disseminated to artists to use as the raw materials in their art. Painters, glass artists, sculptors, photographers, poets, and other artists used the once deadly weapons in their medium to express a thought, make a statement, open a discussion and stimulate thinking about guns in our culture. This exhibition has traveled the country to the Aspen Institute, Washington University in St. Louis, Art Basel Miami Beach and most recently Minneapolis.

Artist Interview: David LaChapelle at Paul Kasmin Gallery

We caught up with artist David LaChapelle at PaulKasminGallery, where his latest exhibition, LAND SCAPE, is currently on view.
Watch LaChapelle discuss his return to fine art photography, his book LaChapelle Land, and his newest series of photographs, which have been the subject of recent exhibitions at galleries and museums worldwide.

Alex Da Corte and Ed Atkins in Conversation

“My vote is for incoherence.” We brought together two young artists, who have taken the art world by storm. ExperienceAlex Da Corte and Ed Atkins in this video where they talk about each other’s video works and their contexts.
“Whenever you lose something, it immediately becomes something else … it has a new pedestal, and memory becomes fantasy really quickly – or horror or nightmares. It can go either way, but it becomes something skewered from what it is,” Da Corte argues. The plastic objects and food items in his video work ‘Chelsea Hotel No. 2’ (2010) are thus “all in their own right proposing to be something other than what it is.” Atkins picks up on this and comments how these things – due to their overt symbolism – also become “hyperreal or sort of excessive in their appearance an...

SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/c/VicStefanu - The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames, and finally in Chelsea, its current location. Saatchi's collection—and hence the gallery's shows—has had distinct phases, starting with US artists and minimalism, moving to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting, and then returning to contemporary art from America in USA Today at the Royal Academy in London. A 2008 exhibition of contemporary Chinese art formed the inaugural exhibition in the new venue for the gallery at the Duke of York's HQ.
The gallery has been an influence on art in Britain since its opening. It has also had a history of media controversy, which it has actively courted, and has earned extremes of critical reaction. Many artists shown at the gallery are unknown not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world; showing at the gallery has provided a springboard to launch careers.

Soon after the return, western Realism supposedly influenced Bhajuman's paintings, marking the start of modern trend. An unsigned painting - supposedly to have painted by Bhajuman - depicts a Thapa General in a full military regalia.This painting remained a pivotal example of considerable departure from an established traditional school of Nepali painting to western school of art practice. However, the recent discovery of the illustrations by Raj Man Singh Chitrakar (1797-1865) for his patron a British ResidentBrian Houghton Hodgson, sheds light on the western Realism entering Nepal way before the influences brought in by Bhajuman Chitrakar.
Nepalese Painting 1900-1950
The remarkable entry of the western school of art practice is noticed in Nepali painting only after the return of two young artists Tej Bahadur Chitrakar 1898-1971 and Chandra Man Singh Maskey in late 1920s. They both joined Government School of Art in Calcutta to learn to paint by observing life and nature-concept of tonal effects, colors and the most important - the application and the use of modern paint mediums like oil, water, charcoal, pastel etc.[3] Very few works of Chandra Man Singh Maskey are accessible to the public. However with the publication of the book Tej Bahadur Chitrakar - icon of transition written by his heir Madan Chitrakar in 2004 and a grand post-humous retrospective of Tej Bahadur Chitrakar "Images of a Lifetime--: A Historical Perspective" organised by SiddharthaArt Gallery in 2005 have emphasised on his contribution for the development of Nepali painting. Tej Bahadur Chitrakar played an important role practising in both traditional Nepali art as well as western ways of painting. Simultaneously he is also fondly remembered as a dedicated teacher who shared his knowledge to many aspiring artists of his time. Under the tutelage of Tej Bahadur, Dil Bahadur Chitrakar versed himself in various paint mediums especially pastel techniques whilst Amar Chitrakar became an expert in water color and oil and became one of the beloved Nepali artists.
Nepalese Painting 1950-1990
The arrival of Lain Singh Bangdel (1919–2002) in 1961 marks as an introduction to Modern Art in Nepal. He brought with him, the exposure to Modern art movements from Paris to a country which was slowly opening to the world only after 1950s. With the patronage of King Mahendra, Lain Singh Bangdel introduced abstract art to the Nepali audience. In 1972 he was appointed as an academician of Royal Nepal Academy by King Birendra.
Juddha Kala Pathshala was the only institute[6] where art was taught formally during those days. Many of the young enthusiasts opted India to study art under various scholarship programs. After the return of young artists such as Uttam Nepali, Manuj BabuMishra, Shashi Bikram Shah, Batsa Gopal Baidhya, Krishna Manandhar, RamaNandaJoshi, Thakur Prasad Mainali, Deepak Shimkhada, Sushma Shimkhada, PramilaGiri, Indra Pradhan, KarnaNarsinghRana, Shashi Kala Tiwari, Nepali art flourished into a collective modern phase. Artists like Kiran Manandhar, Karna Maskey, RaginiUpadhyay, Uma Shankar Shah, Pramesh Adhikari, YuwakTuladhar, K.K. Karmacharya, Birendra Pratap Singh, Surendra Bhattarai, Sharad Ranjit succeeded as a young and vibrant generation during 1980s. DurgaBaral practising in isolation in his home town Pokhara[7] came as a surprise with his first solo exhibition in 1983 "Chowk ra Tamsuk". Though a self practised artist, his mastery in skill and execution surpassed many of his contemporaries. Karna Maskey passed away on September 14, 2016

Artists like Kiran Manandhar, Karna Maskey, RaginiUpadhyay, Uma Shankar Shah, Pramesh Adhikari, YuwakTuladhar, K.K. Karmacharya, Birendra Pratap Singh, Surendra Bhattarai, Sharad Ranjit succeeded as a young and vibrant generation during 1980s. DurgaBaral practising in isolation in his home town Pokhara[7] came as a surprise with his first solo exhibition in 1983 "Chowk ra Tamsuk". Though a self practised artist, his mastery in skill and execution surpassed many of his contemporaries. Karna Maskey passed away on September 14, 2016

This panel investigates the pros and cons of promoting emerging artists and best-practice methods. Is early promotion of artists damaging the longevity of their artwork? When is an artist too young to be pushed into the public arena; what makes an artist ‘ready’ for such public celebration? Are young artists becoming better at digital-self-promotion than anyone else? What is the role of the coveted art prize? Is there a right or wrong way to navigate studio visits between emerging artists and art professionals?
Giovanni Carmine, Director, KunstHalleSankt Gallen, St. Gallen; GinaFolly, Artist, Basel.
Moderator: Irene Calderoni, Curator, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin.

A thoughtful portrait of a renowned artist, this documentary shines the spotlight on New York City painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Featuring extensive interviews conducted by Basquiat's friend, filmmaker Tamra Davis, the production reveals how he dealt with being a dark artist in a predominantly white field. The film also explores Basquiat's rise in the art world, which led to a close relationship with Andy Warhol, and looks at how the young painter coped with acclaim, scrutiny and fame.

New America is proud to host Guns in the Hands of Artists, an exhibition from New Orleans artists BrianBorrello and JonathanFerrara to further the conversation about guns in our society with art as the catalyst for dialogue.
Decommisioned guns taken off the streets of New Orleans were disseminated to artists to use as the raw materials in their art. Painters, glass artists, sculptors, photographers, poets, and other artists used the once deadly weapons in their medium to express a thought, make a statement, open a discussion and stimulate thinking about guns in our culture. This exhibition has traveled the country to the Aspen Institute, Washington University in St. Louis, Art Basel Miami Beach and most recently Minneapolis. To learn more about this exhibition, visit the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery website.
This exhibition will be on display at New America from September 21st through October 7th and will be open to the public between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. All of the works in this exhibition will be located outside of the Main EventSpace on the 9th floor. We ask that guests please be mindful of the office environment.

“My vote is for incoherence.” We brought together two young artists, who have taken the art world by storm. ExperienceAlex Da Corte and Ed Atkins in this video where they talk about each other’s video works and their contexts.
“Whenever you lose something, it immediately becomes something else … it has a new pedestal, and memory becomes fantasy really quickly – or horror or nightmares. It can go either way, but it becomes something skewered from what it is,” Da Corte argues. The plastic objects and food items in his video work ‘Chelsea Hotel No. 2’ (2010) are thus “all in their own right proposing to be something other than what it is.” Atkins picks up on this and comments how these things – due to their overt symbolism – also become “hyperreal or sort of excessive in their appearance and therefore a bit grotesque, but also somehow truthful in either their erotic aspect or their tangibility … their viscosity.”
“What we don’t want is for technology’s fidelity to be such that it sort of usurps our own mortal clumsiness.” The two artists also touch upon how modern technology has somehow becomes so flawless that it seems fake, making Atkins add technical mistakes to his video works on purpose: “It’s a weirdly comforting thing to retrieve some analogue error.” On his work ‘Happy Birthday!!’ (2014) – as well as his work in general – Atkins furthermore adds that “it’s also about the reality of this world versus the world that I’m putting in the video. The world in the videos is a horrible, purgatorial kind of looping nowhere.”
Alex da Corte (b. 1981) is an American artist who lived in Venezuela until he was eight and now lives and works in Philadelphia. He has had solo shows and presentations at prominent venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, Carl Kostyal in Stockholm, DavidRisleyGallery in Copenhagen and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Portland, Maine. Moreover, his work has been shown at MoMA PS1 and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2012, Da Corte was named a Pew Fellow in the Arts by the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage, Philadelphia. For more about him see: http://alexdacorte.com/
Ed Atkins (b. 1982) is a British artist whose oeuvre consists largely of photography and digital videos in which he incorporates computer generated characters – CGI avatars – and scenes as a means to explore the ways in which digital forms of representation can create new versions of reality. The avatar protagonist often delivers poetic soliloquies addressed to the viewer, which is symptomatic of the fact that Atkins’ video works often are derived from text and in particular poetry. Atkins has had solo exhibitions at prominent venues such as Tate Britain in London, MoMA PS1 in New York, Palais de Tokyo in Paris and Kunsthalle Zürich. In 2012 he performed the critically acclaimed ‘Depression’ at the SerpentineMemoryMarathon. Atkins lives in London.
Alex Da Corte and Ed Atkins were interviewed by ChristianLund in connection to the Art Alive festival at Louisiana Museum of Art in Denmark in May 2016. In the video, extracts are shown from ‘Chelsea Hotel No. 2’ (2010) by Alex Da Corte and ‘Happy Birthday!!’ (2014) by Ed Atkins.

Sun Xun is one of China’s most talented and ambitious young artists. He experiments with drawings, traditional ink paintings and woodcuts, and then uses new technologies to transform them into his artistic trademark – black and white animations. Born in 1980 in Fuxin, his works often explore and question what is known about Chinese history. In 2006 he founded his own animation studio called Pi and produces large amounts of work each year. In just under 10 years, Sun Xun has held over 30 solo exhibitions, most notably at the Hayward Gallery in London, and at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. He has also shown his films at more than 150 film festivals worldwide, including the 8th Seoul International Film Festival and the 25th Torino Film Festival.

Wave Pool Gallery is helping young artists navigate the 'art world hustle' with curatorial residency

WavePoolGallery has started a curatorial residency program to give artists a paid opportunity to build the skills they need beyond making art. "We're building what we never had, what we wished we had," said Maria Seda-Reeder, coordinator of the curatorial residency, artist and a former Wave Pool board member. After Seda-Reeder and Wave Pool founder Calcagno Cullen graduated with advanced arts degrees, they found themselves in Cincinnati facing a lack of paid opportunities to produce art or build the administerial skills they needed to work for a larger art organization. Seda-Reeder stayed and scraped together her own opportunities -- DIY exhibits, critique nights with friends and assorted freelance gigs -- around odd jobs, while Cullen left and spent five years gaining experience in San Francisco before returning to start Wave Pool. "There's a gap between school and professional life," Cullen said. "That's why we see so many artists boomeranging back to Cincinnati." Wave Pool's curatorial residency is modeled after mentorship Cullen received at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Her experience there landed her a job curating the gallery at AdobeBooks, Cullen said, and that position led directly to her desire and ability to open Wave Pool. Along with mentorship, Wave Pool curatorial residents will receive a $2,000 stipend and marketing and administration support to build an exhibit. Grants from ArtsWave and the Ohio Arts Council are covering the cost of the pilot program, which joins Wave Pool's slate of projects, including a yearlong artist-in-residency program, to build and expand the Cincinnati arts scene. "What Wave Pool is doing is so multi-faceted and vital," said Matt Distel, exhibitions director at the Carnegie. "The curatorial residency program builds on many of their previous projects. ... To be a working artist in Cincinnati means that you will be doing many things that are not simply making art. The curatorial residency is a chance to learn or flex a related but different muscle." Distel sat on the jury of artists, arts professionals and community members that chose the first curatorial residents from a slate of 11 proposals. Artists and aspiring curators had to put together a plan for an exhibit that would connect with Wave Pool's neighborhood-focused mission to use contemporary art to spark social engagement. "Curating can tend to be rooted in the academic or museum worlds," Distel said. "Projects like Wave Pool's make explicit that great shows can also be born from communities of artists and simply like-minded folks getting together to share common interests. Curating can exist as commentary on art but also holds a lot of power when it is integrated into a community."

Callen Schaub's practice draws from a rich history of artists using spinning and dripping techniques — from Damien Hirst to Jackson Pollock. But Callen has invented his own homemade devices that include swinging troughs, paint can pendulums and bicycle parts that help him create his signature works. In this video, Callen takes you inside his paint-splattered studio for a look at how he makes his dazzling works of art.

LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
TonightWe are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

First London gallery dedicated to Iranian Art

(6 Apr 2018) LEADIN
The first UK gallery to deal exclusively in Iranian art has opened in London.
Iran's contemporary art market is reportedly outperforming that of any other Middle Eastern country, and is being seen in more markets around the world.
STORYLINE:
One of the first sights on entering the new CAMA (Contemporary and Modern Art) Gallery in London is a Union Jack.
Incongruous for a gallery dealing exclusively in Iranian art - but look closer and Farsi calligraphy can be seen as its base, intertwined with the red, white and blue lines atop.
The 2014 'FlagSeries' by Fereydoon Omidi, which speaks of friendship and understanding between cultures, is symbolic of CAMA's approach.
Being the first gallery in the UK dealing exclusively in Iranian art, it aims to be a platform for Iranian artists to get their works consistently seen and sold abroad and for Western collectors to gain a deeper understanding of Iran than that which is regularly portrayed by Western media or politicians.
CAMA Co-founder RileyFrost says, the objective is to: "provide a platform for Iranian art. A legitimate platform in the West, where we are not just nit-picking bits here and there and taking the bits that fit into that Western aesthetic, we are very much looking to change the view that Western collectors have of Iranian art.
"A lot of the works that we have got here, we have behind me a work that is a flag with a very calligraphic base and a lot of works we are showing have quite strong Islamic content and that is not conducive to the wants and needs of the Western collector," Frost adds.
"That being said that is more so because Western collectors have been presented with quite an Orientalised notion of what Iranian art is, what Middle Eastern art is and what the Middle East more broadly is."
CAMA's inaugural exhibition, 'Sensations', shows the works of 19 Iranian artists. It includes young artists, such as the highly sought after Bita Vakili, and established artists, for instance, Mostafa Nourbakhsh.
It wants to lead the expansion of Iran's art industry, and is looking to reach other Western locations, such as Los Angeles, Washington DC and Toronto, in the next 12 to 18 months.
And Frost believes there will be a further opening of perspectives to Iranian art in Western society in the next 10 to 15 years.
Currently, Iranian art is reportedly outperforming other Middle Eastern nations' works. Last year it made 60 percent of the revenue at Sotheby's Middle Eastern art auction.
However, the current political climate does pose logistical issues. The TrumpAdministration has pushed forward travel restrictions on Iranians to the US. None of the artists featured in 'Sensations' could get visas to travel to the UK for the opening.
And there remain the restrictions from their own government on what Iranian artists can speak about and portray in their works.
As Frost notes: "The great thing about Iranian art and probably the most key thing I am keen to get across is that Iranian art is great because it is bounded and a lot of Iranian artists would rather their work was not so heavily censored.
"But there's a cliche that pressure creates diamonds, and I feel like with Iranian art that is indicative of the wider scene.
"If you're forced to work within a box you are really forced to think about what you are doing rather than just sell it to a collector."
It's a view shared by Middle Eastern art expert Janet Rady. She says that censorship forces the artists to use more allusion in their work, ultimately making more attractive what is already a highly developed scene.
Rady says the standard of Iranian art is different to the rest of the Middle East:
"It's got nothing to do with exporting the works of art from Iran at all," Rady says.

Aelita Andre: the child prodigy painter from Melbourne, Australia

Someone once told us that 'Believing was Seeing...' and in this case it could quite literally be very true.
Aelita Andre, (born 2007), is an Australian born artist of Russian heritage. She is an internationally recognized artist whose solo exhibition at AgoraGallery, New York, in 2011 sold out in seven days. Created with the joy and free spiritedness of her youth, her expressively colorful abstracts are remarkable evidence of her spontaneous intuitive impulses. Intention and message are at their most abstract in her art.​
The above video is entitled 'SecretUniverse' which represents the world inhabited by children - a world of their own making where fantasy is foremost and reality is distant and secondary. This is a glimpse into what has been adapted into a short film and is told from Aelita's point of view and includes many spoken observations about herself, her painting and her unique thoughts on life itself.
Aelita works in acrylic, with occasional added objects such as toys like plastic dinosaurs, butterflies and penguins, and various other items, including even a microscope. Aelita creates swirling layers of paint splatters and uses iridescent neon glitter to form an intricate, kinetic whole. The structural rhythms are unmistakable and completely instinctive, reflecting an understanding of composition far beyond her years. Complex yet accessible, sophisticated yet unguided, Aelita's artworks communicate a sense of excitement and allow a unique access into the creative mind of a child.
If given the opportunity, what do you think you could achieve, or even your own kids?
No more words required, but just your own interpretations... just as with Art itself.

LONDON, the magnificent and famous SAATCHI GALLERY, a tour (England)

SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/c/VicStefanu - The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames, and finally in Chelsea, its current location. Saatchi's collection—and hence the gallery's shows—has had distinct phases, starting with US artists and minimalism, moving to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting, and then returning to contemporary art from America in USA Today at the Royal Academy in London. A 2008 exhibition of contemporary Chinese art formed the inaugural exhibition in the new venue for the gallery at the Duke of York's HQ.
The gallery has been an influence on art in Britain since its opening. It has also had a history of media controversy, which it has actively courted, and has earned extremes of critical reaction. Many artists shown at the gallery are unknown not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world; showing at the gallery has provided a springboard to launch careers.

Sun Xun is one of China’s most talented and ambitious young artists. He experiments with drawings, traditional ink paintings and woodcuts, and then uses new technologies to transform them into his artistic trademark – black and white animations. Born in 1980 in Fuxin, his works often explore and question what is known about Chinese history. In 2006 he founded his own animation studio called Pi and produces large amounts of work each year. In just under 10 years, Sun Xun has held over 30 solo exhibitions, most notably at the Hayward Gallery in London, and at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. He has also shown his films at more than 150 film festivals worldwide, including the 8th Seoul International Film Festival and the 25th Torino Film Festival.

In Search of Fra Angelico: The Artist as a Young Man

Laurence Kanter
Friday, February 2, 2018, 1:30 pm
Over the past two decades, discoveries made in museums around the world have led to a new understanding of the early career of one of the towering masters of the Italian Renaissance, the artist known today as Fra Angelico. Now, conservation work at the Yale University Art Gallery has uncovered what may be Angelico’s first documented painting—long thought to have been lost—and opens new perspectives on the key role he played in the opening years of the 15th century in the formation of a modern style of naturalistic representation. Laurence Kanter, ChiefCurator and the Lionel Goldfrank III Curator of European Art, addresses the early work of Fra Angelico.

National Art Exhibition 2017 Nepal.

Nepalese painting
Nepalese Painting believed to have embraced western influences after 1850 with a work of Bhajuman [Chitrakar], a traditional artist who became acquainted with western Realism after visiting Europe. Bhajuman, also known as Bhajumacha Chitrakar, was a court painter of Jung Bahadur Rana, who visited Europe in 1850 after becoming Prime Minister of Nepal. As a member of the new Prime Minister's entourage, Bhajuman also visited Paris and London. Soon after the return, western Realism supposedly influenced Bhajuman's paintings, marking the start of modern trend. An unsigned painting - supposedly to have painted by Bhajuman - depicts a Thapa General in a full military regalia.This painting remained a pivotal example of considerable departure from an established traditional school of Nepali painting to western school of art practice. However, the recent discovery of the illustrations by Raj Man Singh Chitrakar (1797-1865) for his patron a British ResidentBrian Houghton Hodgson, sheds light on the western Realism entering Nepal way before the influences brought in by Bhajuman Chitrakar.
Nepalese Painting 1900-1950
The remarkable entry of the western school of art practice is noticed in Nepali painting only after the return of two young artists Tej Bahadur Chitrakar 1898-1971 and Chandra Man Singh Maskey in late 1920s. They both joined Government School of Art in Calcutta to learn to paint by observing life and nature-concept of tonal effects, colors and the most important - the application and the use of modern paint mediums like oil, water, charcoal, pastel etc.[3] Very few works of Chandra Man Singh Maskey are accessible to the public. However with the publication of the book Tej Bahadur Chitrakar - icon of transition written by his heir Madan Chitrakar in 2004 and a grand post-humous retrospective of Tej Bahadur Chitrakar "Images of a Lifetime--: A Historical Perspective" organised by SiddharthaArt Gallery in 2005 have emphasised on his contribution for the development of Nepali painting. Tej Bahadur Chitrakar played an important role practising in both traditional Nepali art as well as western ways of painting. Simultaneously he is also fondly remembered as a dedicated teacher who shared his knowledge to many aspiring artists of his time. Under the tutelage of Tej Bahadur, Dil Bahadur Chitrakar versed himself in various paint mediums especially pastel techniques whilst Amar Chitrakar became an expert in water color and oil and became one of the beloved Nepali artists.
Nepalese Painting 1950-1990
The arrival of Lain Singh Bangdel (1919–2002) in 1961 marks as an introduction to Modern Art in Nepal. He brought with him, the exposure to Modern art movements from Paris to a country which was slowly opening to the world only after 1950s. With the patronage of King Mahendra, Lain Singh Bangdel introduced abstract art to the Nepali audience. In 1972 he was appointed as an academician of Royal Nepal Academy by King Birendra.
Juddha Kala Pathshala was the only institute[6] where art was taught formally during those days. Many of the young enthusiasts opted India to study art under various scholarship programs. After the return of young artists such as Uttam Nepali, Manuj BabuMishra, Shashi Bikram Shah, Batsa Gopal Baidhya, Krishna Manandhar, RamaNandaJoshi, Thakur Prasad Mainali, Deepak Shimkhada, Sushma Shimkhada, PramilaGiri, Indra Pradhan, KarnaNarsinghRana, Shashi Kala Tiwari, Nepali art flourished into a collective modern phase. Artists like Kiran Manandhar, Karna Maskey, RaginiUpadhyay, Uma Shankar Shah, Pramesh Adhikari, YuwakTuladhar, K.K. Karmacharya, Birendra Pratap Singh, Surendra Bhattarai, Sharad Ranjit succeeded as a young and vibrant generation during 1980s. DurgaBaral practising in isolation in his home town Pokhara[7] came as a surprise with his first solo exhibition in 1983 "Chowk ra Tamsuk". Though a self practised artist, his mastery in skill and execution surpassed many of his contemporaries. Karna Maskey passed away on September 14, 2016

Conversations | Artist Talk | Nurture vs. Promotion: Young Artists

This panel investigates the pros and cons of promoting emerging artists and best-practice methods. Is early promotion of artists damaging the longevity of their artwork? When is an artist too young to be pushed into the public arena; what makes an artist ‘ready’ for such public celebration? Are young artists becoming better at digital-self-promotion than anyone else? What is the role of the coveted art prize? Is there a right or wrong way to navigate studio visits between emerging artists and art professionals?

Jean Michel Basquiat-The Radiant Child

A thoughtful portrait of a renowned artist, this documentary shines the spotlight on New York City painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Featuring extensive interviews conducted by Basquiat's friend, filmmaker Tamra Davis, the production reveals how he dealt with being a dark artist in a predominantly white field. The film also explores Basquiat's rise in the art world, which led to a close relationship with Andy Warhol, and looks at how the young painter coped with acclaim, scrutiny and fame.

Guns in the Hands of Artists: A Gallery Exhibition at New America

New America is proud to host Guns in the Hands of Artists, an exhibition from New Orleans artists BrianBorrello and JonathanFerrara to further the conversation about guns in our society with art as the catalyst for dialogue.
Decommisioned guns taken off the streets of New Orleans were disseminated to artists to use as the raw materials in their art. Painters, glass artists, sculptors, photographers, poets, and other artists used the once deadly weapons in their medium to express a thought, make a statement, open a discussion and stimulate thinking about guns in our culture. This exhibition has traveled the country to the Aspen Institute, Washington University in St. Louis, Art Basel Miami Beach and most recently Minneapolis. To learn more about this exhibition, visit the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery website.
This exhibition will be on display at New America from September 21st through October 7th and will be open to the public between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. All of the works in this exhibition will be located outside of the Main EventSpace on the 9th floor. We ask that guests please be mindful of the office environment.
If you have any questions, you can contact New America's events team at events@newamerica.org.
